It May Be So
But We Don’t Know
'"P'HERE never was a seriously-advanced solu
tion to world or national problems that did
not take root in some accepted facts. Investigate
the “share-the-wealth,” “old age revolving pen
sions” and any other plans you will, and you
will find basic truisms that started the ball roll
ing.
No exception is Alberta, Canada’s social
credit, the plan that staged the initial triumph of
the spectacular theories arising out of the pres
ent depression. Behind the world’s first social
credit government, with its promise to pay $25
monthly to all adults, is some sound reasoning,
just as Dr. Townsend has produced some sound
reasoning in support of his belief that $200 a
month may quite easily be paid to everyone over
60.
Using pencil and paper, Dynamic Leader Ab
erhart reasoned that, since Alberta has a total
wealth of $3,724 per capita, if he could make
that capital wealth produce 8 per cent interest,
each man, woman and child could recieve $25 a
month, without decreasing the capital wealth.
Then he turned to the books and saw that in
1933 Alberta had produced to the value of $237,
600,000, or nearly 10 per cent of the capital
wealth. In his mind, that took care of the basic
dividends, and he would have enough money left
over to run the government.
He differentiated between real credit, finan
cial credit, and social credit, defining real credit
as the credit which arises from the power to
deliver goods or services when they are required,
financial credit as arising from the financier's
valuation of our real credit, and social credit as
the result of association of individuals.
In plain language, Aberhart planned to give
Albertans the advantage of the increment of as
sociation, the increment, for instance, on a piece
of land that rises rapidly in value when a town
grows up nearby. It was estimated that. Alberta
has sufficient real credit to supply goods and
services as, when and where they are required
for 1000 years without more than scratching the
surface of its potentialities.
As an illustration of social credit, the book
reading teacher noted that in 1930, lhe Canadian
records showed that six billion dollars worth of
business had been transacted with 360 million
dollars of currency, that is, one dollar bought 17
dollars worth of services.
Aberhart’s favorite anecdote concerns two
Irishmen who had a barrel of beer worth $15,
that they decided to retail at 10 cents a glass.
Pat had a tap, a glass, and a till at one side and
Mike was similarly equipped at the other.
No business came. There was a depression.
Then Mike discovered a 10 cent piece in his
pocket and bought a glass of beer from Pat, who
used the money for the same purpose. This con
tinued until the barrel of beer was consumed,
and $15 worth of business had been done with 10
cents.
And the voters swallowed the story.
Thirteenth St. Speedboys
Menace to Campus
'pHE ear shattering blasts coming from stu- j
dent owned cars equipped with air horns |
loud enough for a streamline railroad train have I
almost disappeared. For this, we poor .mortals j
who walk are duly grateful.
Fewer idiots arc trying to scare other stu- ;
dents by charging them with their cars, in the \
manner of a bull taking after an unfortunate
matador. For this consideration, too, we are
thankful.
But some students still persist in confusing i
13th street with Sir Malcolm Campbell’s track
on the Utah salt flats. This time of year, 13th
street is wet most of the time, and it is covered
with wet, slippery leaves. Students continually
walk back and forth across 13th, usually paying
little attention to approaching traffic. The situa
tion is made to order for tragedy.
And, as certain and unavoidable as death it
self, tragedy will occur, unless the students who
like to “show' off” by racing their cars up and
down 13th begin to use their heads for something
besides the wrapper around a vacuum.
These witless menaces have nothing to gain
by saving a few seconds. They are, really, in no
hurry. They want just one thing- they want to
show off like any other high school smart aleck.
And their actions are certainly received with
hostility.
If you happen to be one of those gibbering
simps who thinks it’s admirable to race around
the campus in your automobile, you’re due for
a shock. Don't think for a minute that the stu
dents who are watching you are saying, “Golly,
will you look at that buggy travel?” On the
contrary, they are muttering, grimly, “Man, I’d i
like to get my hands on the neck of that brain- 1
less ass—I’ll bet I could shake some sense into ,
him.”
And students have been known to do the |
things they threatened to do. Students at the
University will not tolerate foolhardy driving on
the campus.

r| 'HERE has been a certain amount of dissent
and misunderstanding recently concerning
the eligibility of varsity sport lettermen in corre
sponding or related intramural contests. Perhaps
the most resentful attitude is towards intramural
eligibility in water polo. Varsity swimming letter
men as well as numeral men have been allowed
to compete in intramural water polo principally
to help build it up, and because it is considered
a distinct and separate sport from swimming.
Without varsity swimmers the sport probably
would have died, but after live years it has be
come an established intramural sport. Since
water polo is not an inter-collegiate sport at
present and no awards are given for it, it seems
perfectly feasible and proper to allow varsity
swimmers to compete in water polo games.
An attempt is now being made to build up
cross-country as an intramural sport. In the past
cross-country was considered the biggest event
in intramural competition on the campus and
organizations would go to extreme limits to put
a strong team over the hill and dale course. In
those days varsity track men were allowed to
compete and it was they who sparked and en
couraged the popular sport to such a stage that
Coach Hayward did not have to bother about
securing material for his track teams.
Today varsity track lettermen arc not eligible
for intramural cross-country. In my estimation
cross-country by nature is a sport distinct from
track. Who ever saw a sprinter, a hurdler, a
shot-putter, or a pole-vaulter running three or
four miles over a cross-country course? The very
essence of the two is distinctly different.
The varsity distance runners who arc letter
men are the ones who can bolster and improve
intramural cross-country as in tiie old days, and
in the same way that varsity swimmers have
built up water polo.
It is also a fact that for the two years cross
country lias again become an intramural sport.
Iheie has been no inter-collegiate cross-country
meet and no awards have been made to varsity
men. In this respect cross-country is again
similar to water polo.
In view of those facts and common sense is it
not just and proper that cross-country be con
sidered in the same light as water polo, and that
in all fairness to varsity track lettermen they be
allowed to compete in intramural cross-country
loi the same reason that varsity swimming let*
teimen are allowed to compete in water polo?

sffects procured by harmony, to
wit: the difference between the
wedding march and the funeral
march--both utilizing the same
melody pattern and the same
rhythmic beat but minor notes in
the latter to secure the effects of
melancholy and mourning.
During the major part of his
lecture, Dr. Spaeth gamboled light
ly over his text and keyboard, in
serting frequent jokes and face
tious remarks that brought swells
□f laughter from the audience. To
ward the close of his performance,
however, he expressed the belief
that the enjoyment of music should
be fun rather than drudgery. He
said that music should be taken
seriously but not hard. ‘‘Some per
sons are inclined to place music on
a pedestal where few can reach it
rather than to attempt to discover
for themselves those elements in it
which are enjoyable,” he said.
Stresses Permanent Beauty
He emphasized the importance
of trying to discover permanent
beauty in some form. "Beauty is
the goal and ideal of the artist,”
he said, “and if something sounds
beautiful to you and is received in
a like manner by a number of
people over a number years, it does
have qualities of permanent
beauty.”

DOLORES’S DEPENDABLE ADVICE
FOR DISMAYED DAMSELS
Dear Dolores: TT T
I am a little girl who stutters occasionally. How can I make
people realize I am really serious in my conversation .
They mimic and laugh at me, and when I am reciting before
a classroom they snicker at my strained remarks that I try so
hard to make emphatic.
Dolores, please give me a solution to squelch my unsympa
thetic friends. g
Dear B. B.:
I sympathize with you greatly and realize your problem is a
sensitive one, touching on the tender heart strings. We can l
reform the world so just ignore the slanderings of your rude
friends. Your professors are human enough to realize your
earnest attempts and will in most cases keep from laughing
too.
Try not to let this misunderstanding of your friends break
your friendship with them and X am sure that after everyone
reads your frantic plea they will refrain from torturing your
feelings any further.
Dolores.
Dear Dolores:
I recently met a very handsome young man, and he has
taken me out several times. Romance budded blissfully for a
while, but then he developed a trait which I dislike. It started
at the matinee at the Mayflower, when he put his arm around
me. He kissed me on our next date, and since then he has
constantly become bolder. How can I cure him of this new
development, without offending him and losing him ?
Anxiously,
P. N.
Dear P. N.:
Our first consideration must be the determination of his
motive in kissing you. This may be one or both of two things;
he may have a very sentimental nature, or he may have been
lured by your physical attractiveness. In any event, the best
thing for you to do is to arrange a breakfast date with him.
Seeing a co-ed at seven a. m. over the breakfast coffee cups
is enough to kill any natural sentiment he may have. I should
also advise you to make your kisses as unsatisfactory as pos
sible. Try baring your teeth or growling deep in your throat
when he tries to jdss you. After a few such experiences, I
believe he will desist. In either event, however, you must be
guided by your own good judgment. Don’t over do it, or you
may lose him forever. An unthinkable fate!
Dolores.
